We are hiring a Lead Engineer to help redesign and modernize the user experience across the Micromedex portfolio. This is a hands-on, transformational technical leadership role for someone who can personally shape and build modern React product experiences while also influencing design direction, engineering standards, and delivery practices across teams.

The successful candidate will work closely with Product Management, UX Design, and Engineering to move from customer need and workflow concept into prototype, validated design, production-ready React implementation, testing, release, and rapid iteration. They should bring practical experience using AI across the SDLC, including design exploration, code assistance, test generation, refactoring, prototyping, and delivery acceleration.
